Terracotta Warriors Exhibition

I would like to see this exhibition. Using public transportation, how do I get there from Muzeum station?





I believe it is at: Lucerna Great Hall, Štěpánská 61, Prague 1





Thanks.

It very easy. You get out from metro station Muzeum. There is Wenceslav square, you go down in this square, better on left side. Approx 5 min, and there is crossing with tram. So there yiu go left and directly on you left hand is Lucerna Great Hall. There is big passage, you have to go inside. Clear?

Thanks.





What about from Muzeum station to Prague castle? Is it walkable? What train should I take to get there?





Thanks again.

You take a metro direction dejvicka and get off at Malostranska (3rd stop). You then have a choice of tram number 22 for 3 stops (up the hill to the back of the castle) or just walk.

It is actually a very nice walk if you are not in a hurry - walk down Václavské náměstí and keep going basically in a straight line after the crowds to Staroměstské náměstí, down Karlova ulice, across Karlův most and just follow your eyes.

What if I want to stop at Petrin Hill before the castle or after? Which tram/train should I take?





What is the best time to go up the tower to get the best view?





Thanks.

To get to Petrin you need to get the funicular railway from Ujezd - from Muzeum it is probably best to metro A to Malostranska, then train 12, 20 or 22 to Ujezd (3rd stop) and then walk to the funicular stop. From the tower it is a nice walk across to the castle, but it is quite a way - haven%26#39;t done it for a while, but I think it takes about an hour via Strahov monastery (possibly wildly over/underestimating there :) )

You either walk up Stare Zamecke Schody next to Malostranska metro to the castle, then down Nerudova to the Lesser Town Square (Malostranske namesti) turn right and go up Petrin on the funicular. Or take a tram 22 from Malostranska to Hellichova, or if you walk per GCEK suggestion, turn left at Malostranske namesti, and take the funicular up, then you can walk to Strahov Monastery and take Loretanska to the Castle.



It really is not difficult.
